Chapter 6
That night, Jordan (aka Night) went outside covered in black clothing and a black mask over her head and mouth. She went out dressed like this because she was about to study Buffy and the rest of the group, but without revealing her identity right away.
To do this, she heads to the magic shop to see if anyone is there.
As she comes closer to the shop, Night sees that the light to the inside of the shop is on. She quietly and slowly moves closer to the window to look inside. She sees Giles sitting by himself in the middle of the room. Strange. Cautiously, she looks everywhere else of the inside that she could see from where she's standing. It seems that they were expecting someone. This is an obvious trap set for her. Slowly, Night makes her way around the shop to get out of sight.
Suddenly, she feels as if she's not alone. Quickly, Night pulls out a long knife from her belt. Then, she's attacked from behind by something sharp. She swiftly moves in a way to evade the attacker, without getting hit. When she looks at them, she knows immediately who the attacker is. It was Buffy.
"I had a hunch that you'd be here tonight." Buffy says and begins attacking again. Night manages to dodge Buffy's knife, kicks, and punches as if they were nothing to her. They both pause to look into each other's eyes. Then, Night makes the move to stab Buffy. Buffy quickly grabs Night's arms and throws her away. Buffy walks up to her and reaches for Night's jacket. Just before Buffy could grab her, Night looks up at her with her eyes glowing a bright blue.
Seeing that she has Buffy distracted, Night jumps up to continue attacking. She grabs her knife and makes her move to stab Buffy. Night was moving so fast that Buffy couldn't make out her moves. Buffy couldn't tell how Night managed to get behind her, until she was. While Night had her knife almost stab into Buffy's back, she stopped.
Night thought about the fact that Buffy is Dawn's sister. If she killed her, it would make Dawn upset. She didn't want that because she considered Dawn as her only friend—her only true friend.
As Night was thinking about this, a surge of electricity flows through her. The collar was electrocuting her. Instead of hurting Buffy, Night pushes her away—knocking her off her feet. The electricity might shock Buffy as well if they're too close, Night thought. After Buffy is thrown a decent length away, Night falls to her knees in pain. Then, she starts to cough as if the collar were choking her.
Buffy stands up and starts walking towards Night. Instead of continuing the fight, Buffy just observes. Night looks up at Buffy as her eyes begin flickering blue and staggers as she stands up. Even though the shock continues, Night turns around and starts walking away from Buffy. Buffy follows close behind.
"Who are you?" Buffy asks and Night stops walking. Suddenly, Night begins coughing. Night wishes she could be friends with Buffy as well as Dawn, however, it doesn't seem likely—considering her current circumstances. The shocking stops and as does Night's coughing, then Buffy closes the distance between them. "Why are you here?"
"Can't…say…" Night says, breathless. Then, she falls unconscious.
"Hey!" Buffy says as she catches Night before fell to the ground.
Buffy carries Night to the magic shop. "Buffy!" Willow shouts as she walks out from behind the counter. When she sees Night, her eyes widen with worry.
"What is going on?" Giles asks, cautious of the person in black. "Why did you bring them in here? I thought-"
"There's something going on." Buffy interrupts. "She almost killed me…but…she hesitated." She continues and lays Night down onto the floor. "After that, she…" Buffy says and sighs. "She was electrocuted…"
"Is she dangerous?" Willow asks, concerned for everyone's safety.
"That's the problem. I don't know." Buffy says as she looks at Night's unconscious face. After a moment, Night opens her eyes. "You!"
Night staggers to stand up. The group backs up a little bit as she looks around the room. Her eyes flicker blue and she falls to her knees. The collar shocks her again as she realizes where she is. She gasps as if she were about to say something.
"What's going on?" Buffy asks Night as she kneels down to her. Night shakes her head. "Can you tell me your name?"
"Night…" Night says and tries to stand up, but Buffy holds her down. "Get…away…from me." She commands and tries to break free. The shocking stops for a few moments, allowing her to briefly catch her breath. Finally, Night manages to kick Buffy away from her, then jump up to her feet. As fast as she could, she runs out the front door.
Giles begins to read into a book. "It seems that the artifacts she stole…are being used on her. It is likely she would be doing this not of her own free will." Giles says and Buffy quickly stands up and walks over to him. "Buffy, I think you may be right." He continues and sighs with worry. "Something is definitely not right here."
